Looking for a few good movies
| 
Jul 26 22:57 UTC 1995 |
I'm working in the Best Buy Ann Arbor video department right now. We're
looking for a few good movies. The ideal movies should use lots of bright
colors so the TVs look good. They should make good use of surround sound
and stereo so people will notice it's there. There should be no
objectionable language, sex or violence, and it would be best if the
laser disc is not too expensive or hard to find. It would also be nice if
the movies were fairly easy for the staff to ignore. Some of the films
we've got now demand too much of my attention when I should be listening
to the customers....
Here's what we've been playing lately:
The Pagemaster
The Lion King
Hook
Aladdin
The Mask
The Empire Strikes Back
Return of the Jedi
I'm really sick of most of these, especially Hook. We sometimes watch
Big, but it has a (sort of) sex scene and "shit" and "fuck" so we need to
retire it.
Any suggestions?

So I assume _Crimes of Passion_ would be right out? :-)

A more serious suggestion, given the approaching season -
_The Nightmare Before Christmas_.

How about Ron Fricke's _Baraka_? Something non-narrative.

Try Disney's Fantasia. The King and I is pretty. Willy Wonka.
When I ran a video store, lo these many years ago, we used The Blues Brothers
and Ghostbusters, but we weren't too worried about children.
Oh! Oklahoma is a good one, too.
